How To Speed Up Your iPhone New Power Boost Setting Launched
APPLEΒ released a major new iPhone update (iOS 11.3) yesterday and it packs one feature owners of older handsets should seek out.
We’re talking about the newΒ battery healthΒ perk, which lets you turn off iPhone throttling.
The feature has been introduced in response to the backlash over the firm’s secret slowing down of older iPhones.
Fortunately, we’re here to guide you through the process β although it comes with a big catch.
Read on to find out how to stop Apple slowing down your iPhone.
Late last year, researchersΒ exposed Apple over a secret iOS codeΒ that lowers performance to stop iPhone handsets from shutting down.
Apple revealed that it onlyΒ affectedΒ theΒ iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus.
Apple’s reasoning was that by hampering performance, it would improve the long-term health of batteries inside its handsets.
Like most smartphones, the iPhone runs on a lithium ion battery, which degrades over time. For instance, 500 charge cycles will leave your handset with 80% of the potential charge of a brand new model.
But some customers think Apple is just making excuses, and argue that it’s just a ploy to promote upgrades to newer models.
